| A personal challenge Jeff, couldn't agree more. Lost my brother to throat cancer. He had quit for almost ten years, unfortunately the twenty years or so he smoked got to him before then. He was 47. He suffered physically and morally from the time it was diagnosed at t... | |
| I have a general question about surround sound. Your a lucky man. It's amazing that something as remote as equipment isolation would have an effect (placebo, maybe?) on ambiance. I maintain my point that anyone so enslaved to two channel would have been equally enslaved to mono. Audio of the hi... | |
| Renting out your audio room Yes I did, quite a while ago. I envisioned the highest of the high-end for hire. I don't think it would be economically viable though for all sorts of reasons, chief among them being that it would require a change in people's attitude. Most people... | |
| Magneplanar MG 3.6 Rs Slipknot, thanks for the info. I just bought a used pair that I picked up last Sunday and am having real problems with them. I am trying to hear a pair that is functioning properly to gauge whether mine are healthy or not. With the number of fuses... | |
| I have a general question about surround sound. The type of image that audiophiles love from stereo does not sound like anything you may hear in a live venue. Many audiophiles have given up, I think, on reproduced music sounding in the home like the real experience. Focusing on attributes of so... | |
| Anybody using the following combination: Mejames, it's not really what I prefer; it would be what the Maggies prefer. Right now they are out of commission and I only got them Sunday night. More to the point, they never worked right as fuses started blowing after a few tracks and have kep... | |

| I have a general question about surround sound. I detect the fundamental knee-jerk reaction to anything but two channel stereo. The ambiance of the recording venue is not very well reproduced by two channel. A number of audible cues are present on stereo recordings, but to reproduce this "other... | |

| Source for tube boxes? Just got three tubes from The Tube Store today in very neat little boxes, maybe they sell them empty. BTW, I may be insane but I believe that the rather inexpensive JAN Philips 6922s I got sound better than the Sovteks they replaced. | |
| Do you have a dedicated listening room? Yes, built it about twenty years ago. Not the ideal room, but it will have to do until something better comes along... with apologies to the great lyricist who penned those words. | |
| How Much To Rival Good Digital Playback I respectfully submit that the road to analog heaven must first be paved with money. Again, the two schools of thought hold views that are diametrically opposed: the analog-or-bust camp will indicate that a $500.00 vinyl front end will surpass eve... | |
| keeping collection organized????? Library cards? Good Grief! | |
| Guilty Pleasures Sea Shanties and Blue Grass, according to my wife should make me crawl under a rock. I disagree. | |
| keeping collection organized????? I use CD Trustee. A newer version is also available where you don't have to scan the records as you chose directly from the accessible database making it better if you have a collection of vinyl LPs, so long as the recording was also issued on CD. |
